1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: My friends, you are being lied to NonStop around the clock. 2 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: You are being fed a diet of dangerous nonsense that 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: will light the world on fire. We have in this 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: country lost touch with our history, with the events of 5 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: the twentieth century that almost pulled the world into an 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: abyss from which it would not have recovered. We, had 7 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: we been born or survived at all, would be slaves. 8 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: That is how close the darkness came. This is the warning. 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: These are historic days. Men are trying to take power 10 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: and with it your rights to speech, to conscience. The 11 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: ideas of liberty that are foundational to America have lit 12 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: and inspired people all over the world. These ideas are 13 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: worth fighting for, and one million Americans over the last 14 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years gave their lives to defend 15 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: not deals, not real estate transactions, but values, the ephemeral freedom, 16 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: the notion that all men are created equal and endowed 17 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: by a creator with inalienable rights that include life, liberty, 18 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. And it is this idea 19 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: that has inspired free people around the world. Free people 20 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: fight for their freedom, and the United States has always 21 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: stood on the side of freedom. It has stood on 22 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: the side of the men and women around the world 23 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: who have raised up a fist and said no. Until 24 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: very recently, until the calling shameful and embarrassing scene in 25 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: the Oval Office. John Kennedy talked about assembling a cabinet 26 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: of excellence, talked about assembling a cabinet of character and 27 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: purpose and dedication. Donald Trump has assembled a freak show. 28 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the sister who is the 29 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: Commerce Secretary, the billionaire Howard Lucknik, who has dined out 30 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: on the nine to eleven tragedy for twenty five years, 31 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: trying to mask his scum baggery with acts of what 32 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: he calls empathy. The truth is he is an immoral man, 33 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: and now he is one of the faces of the 34 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: US government. He is unworthy to say the names the 35 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: Lensky out loud. But listen to this man. Listen to 36 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: him denigrate Ukraine. Listen to him parrot Putin's propaganda. Appreciate 37 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: his ignorance. What a lightweight he is there he sits 38 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: next to Wolf Flitzer, spewing utter nonsense, incapable of understanding. 39 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: The reason there is war in Ukraine is that Ukraine 40 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: has been invaded by a tyrant and a dictator. That 41 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: has killed their people, has raped women, has raped girls, 42 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: has raped old ladies, and has kidnapped children. And Howard 43 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: Lucknik sits there and says that the impediment to peace 44 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: is the invaded people who have picked up rifles and 45 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: fought back and killed the Russian savage. It is an 46 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: extraordinary moment to watch this buffoon who was incredibly just 47 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: weeks ago given power with democratic votes. Let's watch the immorality. 48 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: We love him, we appreciate America. You know, we want 49 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: you by our side. And if you think we should 50 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: have peace, we should have peace, right. But instead he said, 51 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: I want three hundred billion in reparations from Russia. 52 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: I want them off my land. I want all the land, 53 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: really all the. 54 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 2: Land and reparations and security guarantees. The answer was, it's 55 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: just way too far. That's not a peacemaker, that's a troublemaker. 56 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: And that's what the president saw. And he took it 57 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: for forty minutes before and forty five minutes in front 58 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: of the camera, and then it was just enough. 59 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: Already enough enough is enough? Is about right? Jake E. 60 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: Vance is crazy. Jake Vance has decided because he is 61 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: a Peter Field disciple, a wacko that the threat to 62 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: Western civilization is not the Russian ballistic missile raining down 63 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: on European men and children. No, it's the enforcement of 64 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: laws in German that say we won't tolerate speech by Nazis. 65 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 3: That we're not allowed to debate ideas, that we're not 66 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 3: allowed to discuss things, that we have to silence people, 67 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: censor them, throw them in jail for silently praying outside 68 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: of an abortion clinic. These ideas are going to destroy 69 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 3: Western civilization, They're going to destroy Europe, and they would 70 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 3: destroy the United States of America if we allowed them 71 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: to fester. Thank God, we have a president now who 72 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 3: believes in free speech. But the danger is still there. 73 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 3: The danger is there in Europe, the danger is there 74 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: in the United States of America. We have to ask 75 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 3: ourselves the questions as leaders, are we willing to defend 76 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: people even if we disagree with what they say personally. 77 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: I think European speech laws are restrictive. I don't like them. 78 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: I don't support them. I believe in the First Amendment, 79 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: and I think every free society should have a First Amendment. 80 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: But every free society is not the United States of 81 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: America alone, and each free society be free to make 82 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: the decisions about how they regulate the most offensive and 83 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: hateful type of speech that, within the lifetime of eighty years, 84 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 1: burned down their cities and killed in excess around the 85 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: world eighty million people. Though that simple fact has been 86 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: forgotten by Maga, though it has never been learned by J. D. Vance, 87 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: it has not been unlearned by the Europeans, who remember 88 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: the starvation, who remember the Holocaust, who remember the rise 89 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: through democratic elections of the greatest evil and virulence in 90 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: world history. They remember JD. Vance thinks and serves a 91 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: cause that believes and holds that Germany and France, Yes, 92 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: this is what Victor Orbon has said, are part of 93 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: old Europe, postmodern Europe. What Orbon has said is mongrelized Europe. 94 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: Europe now Orbon's says is central Europe, and Europe is values. 95 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: It's civilization, specifically white civilization. This is what yokes Orbond 96 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: to Hitler, and it explains the affinity of all of 97 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: these people. For Vladimir putin the world's most powerful fascist, 98 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: so powerful indeed that he can bend to his will, 99 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: the most powerful man in the world, the president of 100 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: the United States, who he has turned into a yellow 101 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: striped belly crawler, who debased the United States, the presidency 102 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: of the United States, and the Oval Office with an 103 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: act of submission and weakness and surrender that is unprecedented 104 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: in the entire history of the United States. These are 105 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: low days tonight. Donald Trump, the head of the Article 106 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: two branch of government, the executive, a man who sent 107 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: a mob to storm and attack and piss on the 108 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: floors and shit on the floors of the Article one 109 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: branch of government, will again reach the doors and come 110 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: to desecrate the place with venomous words of division, lies, lies, 111 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: and more lies, which he will spew forth. What should 112 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: democrats do? Some democrats say the thing to do tonight 113 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: is to dress up wearing different colors. Some say they 114 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: should wear black, others pink. Some say the thing to 115 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: do is wear white. Some say they should bring placards 116 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: and degrade the Congress in the same manner that Trump 117 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: degrades it. Because of course, degradation is a contest they 118 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: can win against Donald Trump. What democrats should do is 119 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: sit in silence. This man who is attacking and savaging 120 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: the government, this man who is assaulting the Atlantic alliance. 121 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: This man who is breaking the law does not deserve respect. 122 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: Stay seated as he walks in. When he starts powerting 123 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: the Russian propagandalized, silently, stand up, one by one and 124 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: walk out. Let it start one and then the next, 125 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: and the next, and let the trickle turn into a 126 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: line and into a flood of people leaving and walking out. 127 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 1: Here is the thing, my friends, whether it is for 128 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: Europe's leaders or democratic politicians, what Donald Trump needs, what 129 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump craves, is to be at the center of things. 130 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: Walking out on him moves the center. It pushes him 131 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: to the periphery. When the Europeans meet in London and 132 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: there is no Trump and they act, Trump moves to 133 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: the periphery, handing Trump like Sir kir did a golden 134 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: ticket from King Charles, like it's a Willy Wonka candy 135 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: grand is the wrong thing to do. The wrong thing 136 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: to do is to appease Trump. The right thing to 137 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 1: do is to do what this man is doing. Doug Ford, 138 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: who amazingly is undercovered and unseen in the United States 139 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: despite the fact he is the only leader in the 140 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: world who has been elected since Donald Trump's inauguration, explicitly, 141 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: clearly and directly on a platform that says, trust me, 142 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: I won't back down. I'll stand up for you. I'll 143 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: fight Trump and fight Doug Ford will. Doug Ford at 144 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: this hour is fighting for my American values. Doug Ford, 145 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 1: at this hour, is fighting for your values, our country's 146 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: ideas and ideals by being tough, by being steely, and 147 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: being defiant against an unwarranted economic attack by the most 148 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: powerful economy in the world, against our neighbor, our best 149 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: friend and ally with which we share the longest undefended 150 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: border in world history. This is what Donald Trump is attacking. 151 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: He is pouring acid on the bonds of friendship, the 152 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: combined faiths of people who have blood together, fought together, 153 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: saved the world together. Canadians landed on Juno Beach, they 154 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: were shouldered a shoulder with Americans on d Day. And 155 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has no goddamn right to do what he 156 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: is doing. Shame on him, and shame on any American 157 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: who stands with that bully and his despotism in this 158 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 1: hour of assault and degradation, against all of the things 159 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: that we have long held true and have even longer 160 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: claimed to believe and commit ourselves to saying that we 161 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: would never allow what is happening to happen, and it 162 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: happens on our watch. This generation of American citizens who 163 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: sit and see and must believe that Elon Musk is 164 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: this Donald Trump serves an evil cause. See it clearly. 165 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: This man that comes into the Congress tonight comes as 166 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: an invader of our values and ideas. He is a 167 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 1: most despicable man. This is the morning.
